Corruption Risks in LNG Operations
The LNG industry faces unique corruption challenges due to high-value transactions, complex supply chains, and regulatory complexity across multiple jurisdictions.
High-value equipment purchases and maintenance contracts create opportunities for kickbacks, inflated pricing, and vendor collusion.
Common Risk Areas:
- • Equipment procurement kickbacks
- • Maintenance contract inflation
- • Vendor selection manipulation
- • Spare parts inventory fraud
Complex regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions create opportunities for compliance shortcuts and regulatory capture.
Risk Indicators:
- • Permit application irregularities
- • Environmental compliance shortcuts
- • Safety inspection manipulation
- • Regulatory reporting falsification
LNG trading involves complex pricing mechanisms and long-term contracts that can be manipulated for personal gain.
Manipulation Types:
- • Price reporting manipulation
- • Insider trading on cargo schedules
- • Contract terms manipulation
- • Market timing abuse
High-stakes operations and specialized knowledge create opportunities for personnel to exploit their positions for personal benefit.
Integrity Risks:
